Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Ge Mengjin tribe that entered Shanhaiguan did not total more than 500 as General Yan Bao boasted. In fact, this Sino-Russian mixed mercenary group was led by more than 50 Cossack cavalry and more than 200 Ge Mengjin.  A mixture of gangsters, they now occupy a street in the city.

    The residents on this street have been driven out of their homes with bayonets, and now they are feeding their horses with soybeans and other horse feed. Groups of soldiers are laughing wildly on the street, and at the same time, they come from the courtyard from time to time.  Several women's sobs were heard.

    Under Ge Mengjin's training, these desperadoes were really not afraid of anything, especially the Cossack cavalry. They even killed two passing residents on the street. The reason was that these two poor  The farmer is Liu Juehu's spy.

    Their laughter became more and more ferocious, but after the extreme indulgence, the uneasiness in their hearts also increased. Therefore, they held all kinds of rifles and knives in their hands, ready to fight with others at any time. Not long ago  , after they peacefully entered Shanhaiguan, they had a small conflict with the Eight Banners soldiers in the city, killing and wounding more than a dozen Eight Banners soldiers. In the end, it was Lieutenant General Liu who came to mediate and eased the situation.

    These desperadoes also looked down upon the Eight Banners soldiers and the Green Camp soldiers in the city more and more. In that conflict, the Eight Banners soldiers killed and injured more than a dozen people, but Ge Mengjin's side did not suffer any casualties. The foreign guns and cannons in their hands were sharp.

    "There is another commotion among the Eight Banners soldiers in the city!" A small commander ran over from the other side. He said cautiously: "My Lord Xie Zhen can't suppress it. Please send a team of soldiers to help!"

    "What a bunch of rubbish!" After listening to the interpreter's explanation, the leading Russian captain stretched out his hands and shouted loudly: "I want women, we want women, and a lot of strong liquor, and silver, women!"

    Several Chinese people quickly translated the Russians' intentions to Mr. Liu, who kept saying: "Hurry up. Come on, if you want women, you can have women, if you want wine, you can have wine, if you want silver, please help me."  Push down these Eight Banners soldiers!"

    They had already competed with the Eight Banners soldiers before, so the Russians underestimated the combat effectiveness of these Eight Banners soldiers. He casually found a second lieutenant and said, "You, take ten Cossacks and a hundred Chinese and chop off their heads."  , grab all the women back and let¡¯s have a good time!¡±

    The second lieutenant, smelling of alcohol, immediately led the ten Cossacks and a hundred desperadoes brought by Ge Mengjin to kill them.  They immediately loaded their guns with live ammunition, even attached bayonets, and shouted loudly: "Let the Eight Banners Soldiers see how powerful we are!"

    Only a few minutes after they left, fierce gunshots were heard in the city. The Cossack captain was surprised: "These barbarians still dare to resist us. Let's kill them all, kill them all!"

    The drunken desperadoes didn¡¯t even line up in order.  They just ran out in a chaotic manner, but they had only advanced a few dozen meters when bullets rained down from in front of them.  Bang bang bang

    The fatal bullets knocked down many soldiers in the front row at once. They fell to the ground one after another, and the whole street was stained red with blood. At this moment, the Cossack captain realized that he had been fooled: "It's a rebel, it's a rebel!"

    The shots coming from the opposite direction were Mini rifle bullets. This was definitely not the equipment of the government army. He had already figured out what was going on: "Come over here, the bullets are unreliable. The bayonet is the hero, kill!"

    "It's just these desperadoes.  Even the Cossack cavalry had no experience in arraying and impacting Mini rifle bullets under dense conditions. There were at least two to three hundred Mini rifles on the opposite side. They continued to emit white smoke and fired deadly bullets. Soon these  The desperadoes suffered heavy casualties, and some Cossack cavalry saw that the situation was not good.  He had already started to turn around and run away.

    As the battle began, the battlefield on the other side suddenly became fierce. Originally, a hundred desperadoes could still have some advantage, but in an instant, twenty or thirty people were knocked down, and they rushed out from all directions.  The ambush troops who appeared from nowhere included officers and soldiers of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade, garrisoned Eight Banners soldiers and Green Camp soldiers, and even the local people and strongholds were mobilized. These dozens of desperadoes were mobilized in a very short time.  They were overwhelmed by the crowd. Some Gejun soldiers shouted loudly: "Surrender! Surrender!"

    Ren Zhu, who was leading the team, wanted to say something, but Vice General Liu next to him had already roared angrily: "Brigadier Ren, you promised us that you must kill these thieves! Kill them all!"

    "Kill them all!"

    "Kill them all!"

    "Kill them all!"

    It was not only the Minzhuang and Green Camp soldiers in the city who shouted this word, but the Eight Banners soldiers also shouted this word: "Kill them all!"

    Ren Zhu knew that he did not have time to hesitate. A slight change might be the outcome of the war.?What's more, this is also the certificate of surrender for the Shanhaiguan garrison, so he shouted unequivocally: "Leave no one behind, do it cleanly!"

    "kill!"

    "Kill them all!"

    "No one can be left behind!"

    Even though there were nearly three hundred people from Ge Mengjin's tribe who entered Shanhaiguan, the entire Shanhaiguan was filled with anger. Many farmers and citizens even volunteered, picked up hoes, axes, and hatchets and rushed out automatically, shouting: "  Revenge!"

    An hour later, the entire Shanhaiguan Pass was filled with the smell of blood. The entire small force sent by Ge Mengjin to Shanhaiguan had been completely wiped out. The people in Shanhaiguan felt a breath of bad breath.

    But they also know that no matter what their status was in the past, they can only follow the Hong Army, even if there are many Manchurian Eight Banners among them.

    ***************************************************  *******************************

    Ge Mengjin only learned about the setback at Shanhaiguan at night. Of the fifty-seven Cossacks and 230 forwards he sent to Shanhaiguan, only two Cossacks and one forward rushed away in a hurry.  escaped from the anger.

    This dealt a heavy blow to Ge Mengjin. He got up all night and stared at the map, saying repeatedly: "Is trouble coming, Brother Bu?"

    "Brother Ge?" Bu Xingyou asked, "It's time to use your back-up skills, otherwise we will be in trouble when the army comes to the city!"

    "Well, I wanted to delay it for a while, but now I can't use it!" Ge Mengjin said with great regret: "This backhand could have defeated a hundred thousand soldiers! Now we can only dispatch more than ten thousand red thieves!"

    "Can you defeat a hundred thousand soldiers?" Bu Xingyou was surprised: "Is there really such a strong rear?"

    Ge Mengjin said very openly: "I never tell lies. Now I am waiting for His Royal Highness the Prince and His Excellency the Governor who are under Shengjing City to quickly send troops to rescue Jinzhou! Otherwise Jinzhou will not be able to sustain it for long, and the Jinzhou City Guards will have to  I look up to Brother Fubu!"

    "Easy to say, easy to say!"

    Bu Xingyou said repeatedly: "Now there are ten thousand brave soldiers in Jinzhou City, and there are thousands of Russian elite soldiers. The red thieves are attacking, but they are just the vanguard. I feel confident!"

    "I think so, this time Liu Juehu must be ruined in Jinzhou City!" Ge Mengjin said repeatedly: "I don't believe it, I can't defend this small Jinzhou."

    As Ge Mengjin and Bu Xing had estimated, on the afternoon of the second day after they received the news of the fall of Shanhaiguan, the cavalry south of Jinzhou reported that a large number of Hongjun troops were heading north, numbering at least four to five thousand people.

    This infantry was Chen Yucheng's 12th Division. They took advantage of the moment when Ren Zhu captured Shanhaiguan and had to temporarily deal with the Shanhaiguan problem. They crossed the Great Wall and headed north to Jinzhou. However, it was different from what Ge Meng's Jin troops said.  What is surprising is that Chen Yucheng only has a combination of more than 3,400 infantry, artillery and engineers - equivalent to slightly more than one-third of the entire 12th Division.

    "That's Jinzhou. We are a little behind Ren Huabang in Yuguan, but it doesn't matter. After all, we are a troop and they are a cavalry, but Jinzhou is ours!"

    Liu Xuanlin beside him agreed with this view: "We have left Ren Zhu's cavalry behind, and it depends on our skills next!"

    "That's right! Conquer Jinzhou with all your strength!" Chen Yucheng raised his whip and said proudly: "Let's also let the old people who have lived in Xianfeng for four years know that now I, Chen Yucheng, have conquered the country for His Majesty!"

    "Take a rest today! We will start the attack tomorrow." Liu Xuanlin is a veteran after all, and is much more stable than Chen Yucheng: "We are better than ten Renzhu in attacking the city!"

    Chen Yucheng was successful at a young age, so he was too arrogant. Historically, he was famous for being easy to win first and then lose, and often after defeating powerful enemies, he was inexplicably defeated by some unknown troops. In this time and space,  He has the same youthful exuberance.

    His arrogance is slightly different from the arrogance of the Dragonlance Battalion. The arrogance of the Dragonlance Battalion is based on victorious battles, the spirit of self-sacrifice of the entire group, and the arrogance of the entire group.  On the basis of what he pointed out, Chen Yucheng's arrogance was to build his own castle in the air, so he said to Liu Xuanlin: "Let the brothers rest for a night, and we will see you in Jinzhou tomorrow!"

    "See you in Jinzhou tomorrow!"

    It¡¯s just that the battle in Jinzhou was destined to be a very fierce battle from the beginning. The battle on the second day was extremely fierce from the beginning. Chen Yucheng had experienced countless large and small battles, but this was the first time he had seen such a hail of bullets.  : "When did Qingyao become so capable of fighting!"

    Liu Xuan??Reminded him: "This is not a Qing demon, this is a Russian barbarian soldier."

    Facts have proved that with the support of thousands of Russian infantry, cavalry, and artillery, coupled with Ge Mengjin's three thousand desperadoes, and thousands of Eight Banners, Green Camp, Xiangyong and militia troops stationed inside and outside Jinzhou City, the entire battle was still unstoppable.  As expected, after a day's fighting, although the 12th Division captured several peripheral positions, its own casualties actually amounted to more than 300 people.
